[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was really shocked coming from the DMV to the Midwest and finding out all kids who had at least a 3.0 in high school got auto admitted to all the universities in the state. Not only that, but they had massive tuition scholarships for kids with a 3.5 and up. It seemed so much more civilized than the crazy competitive atmosphere of Maryland and Virginia public universities. [/quote]

Yes buts lots of those schools aren’t great. [/quote]

What states are we talking about here?

Minnesota, Wisconsin, UIUC are all top schools. I don't think they have guaranteed admissions for 3.0+ GPA though, that would be ridiculous. They do tend to have lower GPA and SAT requirements than UMD for freshman despite being peer schools. [/quote]

Think North Dakota, but not North Dakota.

It's not about the quality of the schools, but our rights as taxpayers. We subsidize public education with our tax dollars. Why shouldn't our kids have #1 priority to go to places like UVa? why do we accept admissions offices turning a right into a privilege?[/quote]

[b]+ 1.  We subsidize "non-profit" Private schools (e.g. the Ivies) as well, yet put up with their secretive selection processes.  Why not tax them all?  For the benefit of the poster that shows up asking "what about other non-profits like churches and hospitals (imagine a whiny Karen voice here) - yes, tax everyone. [/b] [/quote]

Thanks for saving me the work!  Can you provide me to your other posts in other forums that insist we tax churches and country clubs?  Oh, you can't?  Because there are none?  Because you are full of shit? [/quote]
